Dvorak, Sonatine Op. 100 for Violin (Peters)

The Sonatina in G major for violin and piano Opus 100 was written by Dvorak in 1893 in New York City.  This was the last of the chamber compositions written during his time in America.  He wrote the sonatina to accommodate the gradually developing musical ability of his children in particular his 15 year old daughter Ottilie and his 10 year old son Tonik.  He wrote of the piece- "it is intended for youths (dedicated to my two children), but even grown-ups, adults should be able to converse with it."
